Left Their Mark Songtext
von The Frontmen

I was sittin′ at a red light the other day
When a motorcycle cop pulled up and stopped right in my way
A black hearse came rolling by
There must have been a thousand cars in that line
And as I waited I couldn't help but think to myself

There goes someone with lots of friends
A family who could depend on them - through thick and thin
I could tell by the tears in their eyes what they
Must have meant to all their lives
And I thought as I watched that goodbye parade unfurl
There goes someone who touched some hearts and left their mark
On the world


Saw a story last night on the evening news
How a soldier gave his own life to save his whole platoon
An Honor guard lined up to shoot
Then they fired that twenty-one gun salute
A lone bugler played taps as they folded that flag

There goes someone with lots of friends
A country who could depend on him through thick and thin
I could tell by the tears in their eyes what he
Must have meant to all of their lives
And I cried as I watched his wife hold their little girl
There goes someone who touched some hearts and left their mark
On this world

I can only hope and pray that on my final day
That I have made a difference where someone might say
There goes someone with lots of friends
A family who could depend on him through thick and thin
As they remember me with the tears in their eyes
And what I meant to all their lives
I hope they say as my goodbye parade unfurls
There goes someone who touched some hearts and left their mark
On the world
